December 31, 2024 calculation

Operating profit margin = Operating income (ttm) ÷ Revenue (ttm)
= $326,100K ÷ $5,237,100K
= 6.23%

Brunswick Corporation's operating profit margin has shown some fluctuations over the reported periods. The trend indicates a general increase from March 31, 2020, to June 30, 2021, reaching a peak of 15.07%. This signifies an improvement in the company's ability to generate profits from its core operations.

However, after June 30, 2021, the operating profit margin started declining gradually, reaching 6.23% by December 31, 2024. This downward trend could be a cause for concern as it may indicate challenges in maintaining profitability, potentially due to factors such as increased costs, declining revenue, or inefficiencies in operations.

It would be essential for Brunswick Corporation to closely monitor and analyze the reasons behind the decreasing operating profit margin and implement strategies to address the issues affecting profitability to ensure sustainable financial performance in the future.
